chef vs chefs, who’s cuisine will reign supreme?

ruhlman.com – Bourdain’s thoughts on the Food Network

The network is crap. But if they offered it in high def (they do or will) I’d watch….

And Food Net seems more interested in her enormous head (big head equals big ratings. Really!) and her cleavage

I’ve said from day ONE that Giada’s head was HUGE!!!! And everyone scoffed until they really thought about it and looked!

Such celly hotness

Samsung Ultra Edition 13.8

This has been all over the techblogs, and I’m repeating it here because it’s just so hot.  I need this phone.  Okay, I don’t.  But playing with my girlfriend’s new celly made me more than dissatisfied with my SLVR (form factor aside).  I almost picked up a SE w810i (or dropped real money on the k790a) or the Sammy d900 carbon (pfft, links, bah, google them you want to know so bad), but have been holding out hope that the iphone/imobile is all I will want in a phone (form factor included).  Though playing with the Blackberry Pearl was nice, even though I don’t need a smart phone.  (This Sammy I linked has HSDPA, which I would get a data plan for ASAP, even though I wouldn’t get one for a smart phone.).

If the Applephone sucks, I can always get something else.  (And Apple had better release another standalone iSight camera damnit!  And iTV better not suck, with the new fee structure, Tivo doesn’t look like it’s going to be renewed, unless it only costs $3-5 more to install it on my Comcast cablebox).

High Def?

So I just got a 1080p HDTV.  And I got a nice upconverting dvd player for Christmas.  And yet I’m plagued by the thought of a PS3 or an Xbox360 (or xo as i like to call it… get it, x for xbox, o for circle which equals 360 degrees!  I’m so clever idiotic.).  Nevermind my friends who are going crazy over the fact that I got a nice HD set and don’t have an HD movie player.  Listen, it bothers me too.  I LOVE movies.  I’d get a PS3 or xo for HD movies alone, never mind gaming.  (Why not just get a stand alone Bluray or HD-DVD player you ask?  Well I do enjoy gaming as well, so there’s that.).  But it’s a lot of layout for movies of which I’m not positive which format will win out.  There are movies on both that I really love.  Perhaps for Christmas…..

worlds collide

Tivo on Comcast boxes. The testing has begun. This is exciting news. Hopefully it won’t take forever for it to roll out nationwide.

  • This is the first of many things you’ll see in my shared Google Reader links that I’m also going to blog about. A little redundant, and not like my comments are THAT insightful, witty, etc., but it’s my blog and maybe I feel like sharing. Or highlighting something that most might just let slip by in the cavalcade of links that will inevitable pass through my Google Reader link box.
